Gunhed - OH! The green goop lady is inside the bio-droid! Then who is inside the flying hamburgers?
Gunhed is the kind of movie that makes you desperately want to love it. It has enormous robots, giant explosions, lasers everywhere, fantastic miniature work, and some genuinely impressive production design. Unfortunately, it also seems to have been edited by someone who assumed the audience had come to see a completely different movie. The result is a visually spectacular but narratively…
Trucks - In the Trucks vs Chopper War there are no winners
The movie that sets up the great Choppers vs Trucks War of 2006. Trucks is what happens when you take a Stephen King story about murderous vehicles, remove most of the things that made it interesting, and then somehow replace them with even more nonsense. Like Maximum Overdrive before it, this adaptation manages to botch King's source material while still producing something that is far more…
The only way that the plot can work is if the entire movie didn't actually happen. Monster A-Go-Go , anyone? Riding the Bullet isn't so much a movie as it is an argument against outlining your screenplay. The only way any of this can possibly make sense is if Alan climbed into his bathtub at the beginning of the film, took enough PCP to tranquilize a rhinoceros, hallucinated the next ninety…
Maximum Overdrive - Coach should've kept his eye on the can
So does the Little League team fire back up next year or are they suited up for the game this weekend? Maximum Overdrive is one of those movies that feels like two completely different films stitched together. Half the time it's practically a comedy, gleefully embracing the absurdity of its premise as every machine on Earth suddenly decides humans have to go. An angry arcade cabinet zapping…
Death Run - Looks like meats back on the menu, boys!
Death Run (1987) / Mutant City (1987) is the kind of movie that makes you wonder if everyone involved had a completely different copy of the script. It's a post-apocalyptic adventure assembled from spare parts, pocket change, and what appears to be an unlimited supply of confidence. Somehow, despite operating on a budget that probably wouldn't cover catering on most productions, the film often…
Final Destination: Bloodlines - Leaning Tower of Street Pizza
After spending the better part of two decades turning Rube Goldberg murder machines into an art form, the Final Destination Bloodlines series finally does something unexpected: it evolves. Bloodlines still delivers the franchise’s trademark chaos—people getting folded, exploded, liquefied and generally punished for existing near household objects—but this time there’s an actual emotional hook…

Wu Tang Vs. Ninja - So moon blood CAN turn you into a walking boner! I knew it!
When martial artists desire to be "the most popular girl" - Top That! There are ninja movies, and then there’s Wu Tang Vs Ninja —a film that feels like it was assembled from a fever dream involving late-night cable, a kung fu catalog, and someone half-remembering Star Wars after watching Teen Witch . It’s baffling, chaotic, and completely committed to whatever bizarre wavelength it’s operating on.…
The Concorde... Airport '79 - 79 Airport movies is a LOT
Everything you want in a cheesy disaster...disaster. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a disaster movie inhaled a gallon of jet fuel, ignored every known law of physics, and then sprinted straight into absurdity with a grin, The Concorde... Airport '79 is your answer. This is high “so bad it’s good” cinema - a movie so committed to escalating nonsense that it becomes a kind of…
Final Destination 5 - Trying something new? Nope? Ok.
Final Destination 5 arrives with the same promise every installment in the franchise makes: elaborate Rube Goldberg death traps, a group of attractive but personality-free victims, and the vague hope that maybe—just maybe—this time they’ll do something different with the concept. Instead, the film dutifully clocks in for another round of “Death’s master plan,” delivering exactly what you expect…
The Octagon - Worst ninja corporation ever. Can they file for bankruptcy?
Chuck, we can't understand the plot because we can't understand your inner monologue. Just kick people in the face! There’s a version of this movie that exists somewhere in the fog of its own whispery voiceovers—a lean, paranoid ninja thriller starring a prime-era Chuck Norris . Unfortunately, what we actually get is something bafflingly stupid and surprisingly hard to follow. Dialogue drifts in…
